Chapter 143 Blood Crow Attacks!

“Plop~Plop~”

The unknown was waiting ahead, and Bai’e’s heart began to pump blood faster.

The combat arrangement yesterday afternoon was quite detailed, and all the information about the enemies that might be encountered on the road and the combat plan to deal with them were clearly arranged. Even if not everyone could remember every detail, having a general impression would not make them confused when they encountered them.

If his memory was not wrong, the so-called “blood crow” that he might encounter was actually a native species of the planet that was contaminated by various biological spores released by the Zerg.

This black big bird originally loved to eat carrion. In order to adapt to the drastic change in the environment during the survival and reproduction after the Zerg came, it symbiotically developed a blood-thirsty plant that used flesh and blood as nutrition. The plant roots rooted in the body constantly absorbed nutrition from them, and the desire for hunger forced them to look for food frequently.

If there is no carrion... living things can also become rotten corpses.

This made them, who were originally timid and cowardly, become very aggressive.

In a sense, they are like those hardworking bees with pollen on their feet. Even if the creatures attacked by them survive by chance, they are likely to be contaminated with the blood-sucking plant spores scattered between the flapping of their wings.

If they take root and sprout on the body, the consequences are self-evident.

They cannot get close to the vehicle.

Bai E quietly opened the lock of the storage compartment at his feet, and rows of neatly placed bullets were arranged in it, waiting to be used.

…

"Ka!"

The hoarse and unpleasant cry sounded on the branches that were as charred and greasy as a layer of kerosene. The rugged tree trunks twisted into a weird shape, and the black big bird quietly perched on it to rest for a while.

It's been three hours since we left the camp.

If the target is the Zerg nest, we have already arrived.

However, it is also roughly in the south direction, and the route they chose will naturally not go directly through the Zerg nest.

These places close to the Zerg nest are also affected by the ecological infection brought by those bugs.

"Everyone be careful." The steady voice of the leader Gregory sounded in the headset.

Bai'er glanced at the big birds resting quietly on the branches, his palms sweating slightly, and his hands unconsciously tightened the handle of the machine gun.

Passing under the eyes of the target that might be the enemy, I always felt that countless eyes were staring at me in the dark. This tense and oppressive feeling was like a heavy black cloud pressing on my heart, making it difficult to breathe.

Everyone looked out of the car nervously, hoping to get through by chance... or, to start a war!

If they were sure that the fight had started, they would not be so nervous.

"Swish..."

For a while, there was only the sound of tires rolling over the sandy ground in the quiet wilderness.

"Gah!"

Occasionally, a big bird would make a miserable cry as if it was dreaming.

The sleeping blood crow dreamed of fresh and sweet rotten meat, big chunks, and delicious feasting.

"Gah!"

Bit it down, nothing!

Disappointment.

Three huge black shadows appeared in front of my dazed eyes.

Living... things?

The blood-red eyes lighted up slightly, and the hunger that was burning all the time began to surge up, occupying its entire consciousness.

"Puff~"

As the wings flapped, the black shadow swooped down.

It wanted to be the first to have a full meal while its brothers and sisters didn't notice!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out almost simultaneously in the three cars, and several gliding black shadows fell to the ground.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

They fell to the ground and smashed into a pile of rotten meat. The bright red roots of the plants surged like little snakes in the flesh and blood, having their last full meal.

These ghosts have deadly spores on them, and it is impossible to let any of them get close.

The voice of the calm veteran in the car suddenly became hot, "Meet the enemy!"

The heavy valve opened, and the uncle who had already put on the helmet and another soldier stepped on the platform inside the car and leaned out. They used the hook on the edge of the skylight to flexibly hang the belt buckle on the combat uniform. The two of them held the heavy machine gun and flamethrower steadily, waiting for the arrival of those ghosts.

The gunshots awakened the beasts sleeping in the morning, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes like blood agate opened almost at the same time.

They were densely packed and everywhere.

The camouflage of the same black color as the tree trunks made it difficult to see their number. Now that they opened their eyes, the countless pairs of blood-red eyes were like the gaze of the god of death, and the oppression like a blade passing over the skin was instantly full.

"Click."

Bai Er opened the firing port and the barrel stuck out.

The shooting conditions were not excellent, and the angle could not take into account the overall situation.

But he was only responsible for checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps. The main output was provided by the heavy machine guns and flamethrowers on the roofs of the three vehicles.

In just a moment, the black wings spread out, and the blood crows covered the sky.

The convoy continued to drive, and everyone waited quietly. When they entered a sufficient shooting distance, the voice of the leading officer suddenly shouted in everyone's earphones, "Fire!"

"Da da da da da ~"

The bullet belt of the heavy machine gun was quickly consumed, and the bouncing shells flew all the way along the driving trajectory.

The sharp metal storm instantly tore a gap in the dark blood crows, through which the sky could be seen.

"Puff puff puff~" Bullets pierced through flesh and blood, wings were in disarray, and corpses fell like rain.

Three dense barrages of bullets swept left and right, and for a moment the blood crow army could not move forward an inch.

After instantly finding the characteristics of the "hot weapons" made by "humans" from past experience, the blood crows were not completely crazy creatures that had lost their minds.

In just a moment, their flight paths suddenly dispersed, and they would rather take a long detour than keep a certain gap between each other.

The offensive pressure after the dispersion was obviously greater than before. The three heavy machine gunners tried their best to shoot at the dense enemy airspace, but the efficiency was greatly reduced.

After getting closer, a flamethrower more than 20 meters long suddenly spewed out.

The killing distance of the flamethrower is closer, and the killing efficiency is more fierce when facing such small and medium-sized creatures.

Under the high-temperature flames, all the blood crows in the range suddenly turned into roasted crows and fell down one after another, and even those deadly spores would completely lose their activity under the high temperature.

"Da da da! Da da da!"

The machine gun in Bai'er's hand also began to fire three bursts of shots.

The blood crows in dense areas will be taken care of by heavy machine guns and flamethrowers. The machine guns in the vehicles need to attack those blood crows that are small in number and close to the vehicles.

There are so many blood crows that the convoy cannot wipe them all out. It is considered a success if they can escape from their pursuit to a distance where they cannot be chased by them physically.

So at this time, what is needed is not the suppression of firepower barrage, but the accurate defense of fatal shots!

[Successfully hit several long-distance fast-moving targets, light firearms proficiency experience +3. ]

[Hit the target and cause 22 points of piercing damage to the target! ]
